Dynamic Stamps

Our IT group registered all of our Adobe licenses in one master account. Each user has their, own unique license. For years, we've each been able to use the dynamic stamps with our own name showing without an issue. Recently, we migrated to the cloud and all got new computers. Now, the names on the stamps change all the time. For example, if I used a stamp with my name on it, when someone else opens Acrobat on their machine, which has a different license, my name shows up so they have to change the name to their own by editing their identity. Is there a way to stop the names from continually changing? I have tried to set the properties to default, but that did not help.

When you install the stamp file, make sure that it is read-only, so that nobody can change it. That should take care of the problem.

Hi Karl, can you please tell me how to make it read-only? The stamps we are using weren't installed since they are the default that comes with the softare (had your name and is date and time stamped for our auditors). Thank you.

You would do that on the operating system level: When you are on Windows, the stamps are installed in (the actual path depends on the operating system version and the Acrobat version) e.g. C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Acrobat <Acrobat version>\Acrobat\plug_ins\Annotations\Stamps\ENU - right click on a file, select Properties, then Security, and then remove write access for everybody. That should prevent people from modifying these stamps.
